  • My mom had a chrysler sebring convertable. I had a miata. My mom was always going on (jokingly) about how much better and cooler her car was. Her car was a big boat with a small-ish V6 and an automatic. My car had a 5 speed, a high revving 4 cyl…
    in My theory on why PC people are so hung up on MHz. Comment by stepson March 2002
  • [quote] Sounds like you need to initialize and re-install software. Its funny .... not to troll (too much), but I always thought one of the reasons macs were better than windows was because "You can be working instead of re-installing windows ag…
    in I'm about fed up with it Comment by stepson March 2002
  • I have a CDRW 450mhz cube ... upgraded it with a geforce2mx, 1.5GB ram, and an 80gig seagate ... its faster, and amazingly, quieter then when I bought it. Its an awesome computer, although there are times when i wish it was faster ... (I know its i…
    in Thinking about buying a G4 Cube of Ebay... Comment by stepson February 2002
  • [quote] But getting back to the BTO options, who really needs an 80GB hard drive unless you have an absolutely gigantic MP3 / Photo collections or do digital video (in which case you'd most likely use the SCSI setup or your own RAID setup anyway)? …

  • I'll take it if you don't want it!
    in TAM Comment by stepson January 2002
  • I was actually just going to ask this ... I figure its got to be pretty similar to the cubes motherboard ... but the new iMac has an SO-DIMM (and a regular DIMM slot- figure that one out) and my cube just has 3 DIMM slots. At any rate ... i'm wo…
    in Is the new iMac using Cube's motherboard? Comment by stepson January 2002
  • [quote] Do you have a DVD or CD-RW Cube? If you have the CD-RW then it won't be faster CD writing because they're both 8x. CDRW ... Its 8x? No kidding ... hm, guess it wouldn't be as cool an upgrade as I thought ... well, still, i've always wan…
    in PB Upgrade to Combo Drive Comment by stepson December 2001
  • Does anyone know who makes that drive? Maybe a kind soul could tell us on the boards once they get theirs (I'm sure SOMEONE is gonna get one ). I'm thinking that drive would be pretty kickass in my cube ... faster cd writing and DVD to boot ...…

  • I have a Cube ... specs are: 450Mhz G4 1.5Gb Ram Nivida GeForce2 Mx400 80Gig Seagate Barracuda IV Disk Its a nice machine! However, in OSX, it seems to be a bit laggy... But that may be more OSX's fault than the computer, it seems speedy eno…
    in Do you think my Cube is still a relatively good machine? Comment by stepson November 2001
  • [quote] the upstart Lindows, and Linux + WINE Not to split hairs, but these are basically the same thing.

  • Heh [quote] The Apple philosophy is do one thing and do it best No its not, that the unix philosophy . "Do one thing and do it well" is how I usually hear it quoted though.
    in Apple to release Palm OS 5 device Comment by stepson July 2002
  • Sun sells one for use in one of their Workstation machines. Its got a 733Mhz celeron (I think) and you can add memory too it. Lets you run windows apps, although they aren't specific as to if it just runs them, or if its more VPC style, where it l…

  • Scenario: Steve Jobs walks on stage for MWNY 2002, to a round of applause. Talks about how great the company is doing, flat-panel iMac sales are great, eMac sales are great, everyone wants an iPod, etc. Mac OSX 10.2 'Jaguar' will be shipping by…
    in What is this? Comment by stepson July 2002
  • I was thinking, since Apple is always saying "well we're the best because we make the hardware AND the software, rah rah rah!" (or something along those lines), that they should maybe stick some iTunes controls on the keyboard, in addition to the ve…
    in new pro keyboard @ MWNY - (semi) confirmed Comment by stepson June 2002
  • I think its crap. Why does everyone really want some sort of 'OSX Lite' on a handheld. I have a 19 inch monitor, running at 1600x1200, and OSX uses up a ton of space that could be used for windows. On a 320x200 4inch screen, or whatever those o…
    in OS X Lite on a Palm? Hints to upcoming iPad? Comment by stepson June 2002
  • [quote] I don't get it. If this new camera has no method of storing video, how would it take the video? Isn't that just like recording without a tape?!?!?!?!?!?!? Its broadcast only, like a webcam. So you use QT broadcaster to broadcast from it…
    in Next Apple iDevice Comment by stepson June 2002
  • Wow, you could be your own doctor with a camera at the end of that ... not exactly what i had in mind, but Think Different, right?
    in Next Apple iDevice Comment by stepson June 2002
  • You know, i really want a new mac to replace my cube ... the ol' 450Mhz G4 isn't cutting these days. I'd get a G4 tower, but they're so expensive ... and I don't want to be stuck with the iMac's relatively small screen (not when I have a nice 19inc…

  • Slightly OT but ... [quote] MS-SQL has (or is going to) processor based licensing (what the f*&$? You think thats bad? Check out oracle pricing some time ... They charge based on: 1) Number of servers running oracle (duh) 2) Amt. of p…

  • [quote] CPU indicator lights on a Powermac would be utterly redundant and a total gimmick, good for impressing fools but seen as cheap and vulgar to anyone who knows how to use a computer Kind of like the touch sensitive switch on top of the Cub…
